One minor correction to Julian's posting.
What we have said in the past and still holds true, is that we will
always offer direct sales from the factory to the UK and Europe. We have
not ruled out the possibility in the future that we will authorize
dealers in the UK and elsewhere for the K3, but we are not planning so
at the moment. If it happens, it will be in addition to direct sales.
(And I would expect that the dealer prices would be higher than the
direct prices for the reasons stated by Simon, Toby and Julian.)

Simon and Toby have given the reasons. It was also discussed in a
thread a couple of months back (see the archives.) When Ten-Tec
decided to authorize a UK dealer, it stopped accepting direct orders
from the UK. Some of the products in the Ten-Tec line are not
available from the UK dealer, and the prices of those that are, are
considerably more expensive than they would be if ordered direct from
the USA. We were reassured by Eric that Elecraft has no intention of
appointing a dealer in the UK or anywhere else.
There is no difficulty at all in ordering direct from the USA.
Shipping just takes a bit longer, and you have to pay VAT to the
postman on delivery.
